I didnt have a job yet. Mr. Hobbs，a friend of my fathers，owned a small shirt factory in town. Within the past five years
25、，it had grown from twenty to eighty workers. Mr. Hobbs was worried that his plant was getting too big and inefficient，so he asked me to come in on a shortterm basis as a consultant. I went to the plant and spent about a week looking around and making notes. I was really amazed at what I saw. Most cu
26、rious of all，there was no quality control at all. No one inspected the final product of the factory. As a result，some of the shirts that were put in boxes for shipment were missing one or two buttons，the collar，and even a sleeve sometimes!The working conditions were poor. The tables where the worker
27、s sat were very high and uncomfortable. Except for a half hour at lunchtime，there were no breaks in the day to relieve the boring work. There was no music. The walls of the workrooms were a dull gray color. I was amazed that the workers hadnt gone on strike. Furthermore，the work flow was irregular.
28、There was one especially absentminded young man in the assembly(组装)line who sewed on buttons. After a while I recognized him as “Big Jim”，who used to sit behind me in math class in high school. He was very slow and all the shifts were held up at his position. Workers beyond him in line on his shift
29、had to wait with nothing to do；therefore a great deal of time and efficiency were lost as Big Jim daydreamed while he worked. All week I wondered why he wasnt fired. After I made observations for a week，Mr. Hobbs asked me for an oral report of my findings. 36The shirts from Mr. Hobbs factory can be
30、described as _. Aof low quality Bof high qualityCfashionable Dunfashionable答案A细节理解题。根据文章第三段说由于成品无人检查，结果使有些装在箱子里要运送的衬衫缺纽扣、领子、甚至缺袖子。由此可知，Mr. Hobbs的工厂生产的衬衫质量很差。37Why did Mr. Hobbs ask the writer to the factory?AThe factory was much too big. BThe factory was not big enough. CThe writer was a college gra
31、duate. DThe factory was of low efficiency though getting big. 答案D细节理解题。由第一段的最后一句可知，作者被请到工厂去的原因是虽然工厂工人多了，但工厂的效率低。38Big Jim may get fired mainly because _. Ahe was slowBhe wasted much timeChe was absentmindedDthe work flow was irregular答案C推理判断题。虽然四个选项在第五段都被提到过，但A、B、D三项都是因为C项所引起的。故C项是Big Jim可能会被解雇的主要原因
32、。39What was the most strangest about Mr. Hobbs factory?AIt had grown from twenty to eighty workers. BThere was not any quality control. CThe working conditions were poor. DThe work flow was irregular. 答案B细节理解题。根据文章第三段中第一句话可知答案。BIve always felt a bit sad for “weekend fathers，”men who dont have custod
33、y(照管)of their children and so must maintain a bond through visits on the weekend. Because they dont have the opportunity for a lot of quality time，they sometimes go in for quantitygiving a lot of gifts and taking the children on nonstop outings. But now I can relate. Im a weekend mom. My child，Henry
34、，is a dog. Henry just returned to his father，Jack，after an extended stay with me. For ten days，I fed him the best of food，canceled plans in order to stay home with him，took him to places I knew hed love，let him sit on the couch with me and let him sleep on the bed while I was at work，previously a pr
35、ohibition(禁止)of major proportion. Since Jack and I split_up about a year ago，neither of us wanted to part with Henry，a 4yearold yellow Labrador retriever. At the same time，neither of us found it easy to keep him on our own. So we share him. Not surprisingly，Henry is a willing participant in our cont
36、est for his affections. Jack doesnt let Henry sleep on his bed，so thats an area where I can always gain big points. I feed him higherquality dog food，though Jack would dispute that. I keep on hand three kinds of treats，which I store in his special Snausages decanter(香肠玻璃瓶)You raise the lid and it ba
37、rks out，“Snausages，Snausages，Snausages，”at which Henry and my cat come skidding into the kitchen. Now，thats the way to give a pet a treat. Furthermore，I am always replacing Henrys expensive“thingy”，a big cotton knot he tosses about and chews on. Its his favorite toy，and the only one he has is at my
38、house. Score another one for me. In August，Henry accompanied me to Maine，where he had the best time of his life. I couldnt wait to call Jack with the news. “You should have seen Henry，”I gloated. “He ran free for an entire weekend，swam in the lake all day and was petted and loved by six other people
39、. Plus，he still got to sleep with me every night. ”Jack retorted，“Well，I just took him camping. And there were lots of people around to pay attention to him. ”What a feeble attempt to oneup(占优势)me，I thought. Camping in a big campground with a lot of people，where that poor canine wasnt allowed to run
40、 free. Doesnt sound like much fun to me. So far，Henry doesnt have a stepmother，but Jack does have a girlfriend，which means shes probably laying the groundwork to take over. At first she was afraid of dogs，which secretly delighted me. But that darn Henry，just trying to be polite，won her over. If trut
41、h be told，as time passes，there has been a slight change in Henrys behavior toward me. It takes him about an hour to get comfortable at my house，and he and my cat，previously best buddies，now need a few days to warm up to each other. The worst was one day when Jack dropped him off for a twoweek stay l
42、ast summer. Henry and I were in the backyard playing as Jack was driving off. When he heard Jacks truck，he bolted and actually ran for two blocks until Jack had to stop and bring him back. That hurt，especially since I had friends over at the time. Jack acted like it was nothing，but I know that insid
43、e he was feeling just a little victorious. In a rare conciliatory(安抚的)mood，Jack said to me，“You know，Im his best buddy，but youll always be his mom. ”Whatever it takes，I plan to make sure it stays that way. 【解题导语】 本文是一篇文学欣赏类记叙文，作者通过自己的经历告诉读者，她与一条叫做Henry的狗之间的亲情故事，着重讲述了她想要努力赢得Henry的关爱。40The tone of thi
44、s article is_. Aserious Bhumorous Cangry Dcold答案B由文章的字里行间可以看出作者写文章时的一种调侃性，以及轻松愉快的写作风格。故判断文章的语调是很幽默的，选B项。41You can infer that the writer_. Adoesnt care about HenryBwants to have Henry all of the timeChas given up HenryDhopes to take care of Henry in the future答案D纵观全文，作者仍然希望能继续照顾Henry，故选D项。42The under
45、lined phrase “split up” is closest in meaning to_. Atore apart Bdisagreed with each otherCbroke up Dwas engaged答案C根据第五段“. . . Since Jack and I split_up about a year ago，neither of us wanted to part with Henry. . . ”可知，我和前夫Jack已经分开有一年多了。split up意为“分开，分离”，语意同break up，故选C项。43Which of the following ques
46、tions is not answered in the passage. AWhen did Jack plan to get remarried?BWhat does the “weekend father” mean?CHow did the author treat Henry?DWhen did the author become a weekend mom?答案A纵观全文，第一段提到B项。全文提到作者如何对待Henry。第二段提到D项，而只有A项没有提及，故选A项。CHave you heard the old expression “One mans trash is anoth
47、er mans treasure”？Elizabeth Gibson believes it，because she is living proof of the old adage(格言)A 53yearold woman was walking down the street on Manhattans Upper West Side four years ago when something lying in a pile of trash on the street caught her eye. It turned out to be a painting，which she was
48、 sure didnt belong there，although she was far from an art critic. Gibson took it home and hung it on a wall. “It was huge and very brightly colored，very abstract，but you could make out three figures and it was just very powerful，” she said. Her research led her to a website and a shocking discovery：
49、the painting was a 1970 effortcalled Three Peopleby a Mexican artist named Rufino Tamayo，who died in 1991 and，as so often happens in the art world，the value of his work had skyrocketed. It is now estimated to be worth up to $1 million. Authorities at Sothebys auction house say that the painting was
50、stolen from their warehouse in 1987！Ten years before，a Houston man purchased it for $55,000 as a gift for his wife. The owners even offered a $15,000 reward，but for years，no one knew what had happened to it，until Gibson walked down that street. In addition to an unknown percentage of the sale of the
51、 painting by its owner，Gibson will also receive the $15,000 reward. Gibson was truly in the right place at the right time. A doorman who saw her pick up the painting recalls that garbage collectors came by the area just 20 minutes after she found it. 44The author mentions the old saying “One mans tr
52、ash is another mans treasure” to_. Asuggest that readers can also find treasure in trash，just as Gibson didBexplain his understanding of it and talk about Gibsons storyCintroduce the topic for further discussion later in the passageDprove that good luck plays an important role in making one rich答案C推
53、理判断题。全文主要围绕Gibson在垃圾堆中捡到一幅价值不菲的油画这一事件展开的，因此可推知，第一段中作者提起那句谚语的目的在于导入本文的话题。45The underlined word “skyrocketed” in Paragraph 3 probably means_. Achanged quickly Bexisted continuouslyCfell steadily Drose sharply答案D词义推测题。从“It is now estimated to be worth up to $1 million”，可推知作者意思在强调该油画的价值在迅速攀升，故选D项。46Comp
54、ared to the garbage collectors，Gibson was very_. Awise Bfortunate Cexcited Dlearned答案B细节理解题。从文章末句可知，垃圾收集工错过了“发财”的机会，而Gibson发现了这幅画，因此可以说她是幸运的。47Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AGibson came upon the painting when people found it was particular. BBecause of the painting，Gibson w
55、as expected to become rich. COld sayings are usually consistent with the real facts. DIt was unbelievable for Gibson to imagine this thing happened. 答案C细节理解题。由文章第一段“Elizabeth Gibson believes it，because she is living proof of the old adage”可知选C项。DRebecca and Deputy Jeff Anderson，the man she was going
56、 to marry，were in their car. A drunken driver was driving the wrong way down the road. The drunken drivers car ran into them. Jeff was killed. Now Rebecca thinks drivers who drink are killers who need to be stopped. This is the reason why she joined MADDMothers Against Drunk Driving. MADD tries to c
57、hange the way we look at drunken drivers. Rebecca Bearden said，“Its not just a car accident. It is a crime，and it is a violent crime. And we have worked very hard and have succeeded in making society realize that is so. ”Society_has_changed. Today，often one person at a party does not drink. This per
58、son is the driver. People think this is a good thing to do. California freeways are much safer than most highways in the US. This is because the cops and the California Highway Patrol are out there doing what they can to keep the drunks from killing you. Alcoholrelated deaths in California have gone
59、 down 61 percent since 1980. The punishment is severe(严厉的)if you are caught driving drunk. In California，an officer can take a drivers license away on the spot if the driver tests drunk. A research manager for the Department of Motor Vehicles said they looked at the new law that started in 1990. The
60、y found about 15 percent less alcoholrelated incidents. The chance of being arrested again is cut in half if the driver completes a treatment program. The work is far from over，however. California still arrests a drunken driver every six minutes. And one in fifty California drivers know someone kill
61、ed by a drunken driver. There is much yet to do. 48Whats the function of Paragraph 1?ATo show how horrible a car accident can be. BTo explain how the accident happened. CTo introduce the topic of the passage. DTo tell us how unlucky Rebecca was. 答案C文章结构题。通读全文，可知主要是讲加州酒后驾车的情况的，作者在第一段提到那场车祸只是为了引出下文，故选
62、C。49From the passage we learn that MADD _. Ahelps the police find drunken driversBis allowed to punish drunken driversChelps drunken mothers drive home safelyDtries to tell people about the danger of drunk driving答案D细节理解题。根据第二段的MADD tries to change the way we look at drunken drivers. Rebecca Bearden
63、 said，“Its not just a car accident. It is a crime，and it is a violent crime. And we have worked very hard and have succeeded in making society realize that is so. ”可知MADD尽量让人们明白酒后驾车的危害。50By the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3，the writer means _. Anow people think it is OK to drive after drinkingB
64、now drivers try not to drink before drivingCnow more people get drunk than beforeDnow more parties are held答案B推理判断题。根据第三段的Today，often one person at a party does not drink. This person is the driver. People think this is a good thing to do. 可知现在情况得到改善了，司机学会了在开车前不喝酒，而且人们也认为这样做是对的。51We infer that alcoh
65、olrelated deaths in California have gone down greatly mainly because _. ACalifornia has improved freewaysBdrivers there often have alcohol testsCthe punishment for driving drunk there is severeDpeople there have chosen to go out by bus答案C推理判断题。根据第五段的The punishment is severe if you are caught driving
66、 drunk. In California，an officer can take a drivers license away on the spot if the driver tests drunk. 可推断加州因酒后驾车引发的车祸而死亡的人数减少主要是因为法律加强了对酒后驾车的惩罚。EFor new countries joining the European Union，and older ones getting used to their dark red passports，becoming “Europeans” is a bit like marrying into a l

68、ad Europeans in the habit of going out for a drink. The British attend more adult evening classes than anyone else in Europe，and the Belginas(比利时人)least. So it cant just be the dark evenings. There are no figures on how many Britons go for a drink afterwards. If there were，they might be up at the to
69、p with Spain!The British think black cats are lucky. Every other European country regards them unlucky. The Dutch and Germans are the greatest caravanners(活动房居住者)，but the Germans like bigger beds in their caravans. The French are the most athletic Europeans. Next come the Dutch. But the Belgians，jus
70、t over the border，play fewest sports. The Germans spend twice as much on heating as the Spaniards. Well，of course they do，its colder.

Asociologists are most interested in the idea of European UnionBmost European countries are not willing to join the European UnionCEuropeans have more differences than similaritiesDtrade opportunities exist in the cultural diff
74、erences in the European Union答案D推理判断题。从文章第一段“. . . but it is their differences，not their similarities，that attract the attention of sociologists(社会学家)and market researchers，and are more interesting. ”可以得知，正是文化的差异吸引了社会学家和市场研究人员的兴趣，也带来了商机。53If you work or live in Belgium，you will_.

BThe British and the Swedish like to appear gentle and smart. CThe British and the Swedish hate to look at each other face to face. DThe British a
77、nd the Swedish enjoy a richer life than others. 答案C细节理解题。倒数第三段“The amount of direct eyecontact between strangers is three times greater among Spaniards than it is among the British or Swedes. ”说明the British or Swedes讨厌eyecontact，所以，乘坐同辆电梯，对他们来说就犹如torture(拷问，酷刑)。55In the last paragraph，the author wan
